Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape. In a ...

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

The particles of a gas are much more spread out and move more independently compared to the particles of liquids and solids. Whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas at a certain temperature ...

The cornstarch particles do not dissolve, but are suspended in the water. When the mixture is stirred or hit, the particles push together and make the liquid harder to move through. When the mixture ...
